It contains bios versions 1008 (stable) and 1009 (beta). I run 1009 since it came out and haven't encountered any problem so far. Please let me know if you want the cd image. It's just 2 megs anyway,
Unfortunately, I do not believe it will work. The BIOS is totally dead, it will not boot from CD probably, but surely it does not initialize the keyboard nor read the keyboard .. it just freezes.
I find it hard to beleive that the Asus engineers didn't think to make the CD bootable just like a floppy is when the BIOS is dead... but stranger things have happened :)
I am looking for somebody good in electronics to externaly flash the EEPROM. I also found a tip about "hot-swapping" the BIOS chips, but I did not convince yet my friend to put his precious chip into possible risk of such operation.
Most (competent) computer stores will reflash your BIOS chip for you. For a price, of course - I think I paid around 500SEK=70USD (don't quote me on that though) when it happened to me on my home desktop and IMHO it was worth it. I probably could have found a friend to do it for me, but I needed a working computer fast since I do some work from home.
